    Several men are handling cardboard boxes marked with World Food Programme (WFP) branding in an outdoor setting. The boxes are labeled with text including 'HIGH ENERGY BISCUITS', 'KEEP IN DRY PLACE', 'HALAL', and ingredient information including wheat and soya. This appears to be a humanitarian food aid distribution operation.

    Citizens of Bawfal, Bangladesh, offload food rations from a Marine CH-46E Sea Knight from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit. The USS Tarawa and the embarked 11th MEU are conducting humanitarian assistance/disaster relief efforts in response to the government of Bangladesh's request for assistance after tropical cyclone Sidr struck their southern coast, Nov. 15. The storm killed over 3,000 people and has left several hundred thousand homeless. The Department of Defense effort is part of a larger United States response coordinated by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Agency for International Development. (Marine photo/Sgt. Bryson K.
